Ideal Union Elbow 1 x 1 FF 000441

The Ideal 000441 is a union elbow, listed as a 1 x 1 FF Fig 261 fitting. It is a pipework component used on Ideal Commercial Concord Super Series appliances, where it joins two runs of pipe at a right angle while allowing the joint to be broken and remade without disturbing the surrounding pipework. The union arrangement means the elbow can be separated at the nut for servicing or component removal.

• Weeping or visible water tracking at the elbow body or union nut
• Corrosion or scale build-up around the threaded connection
• A joint that will not seal after being remade, even with the nut tightened
• Hairline cracking or distortion of the fitting, often after frost damage or overheating
• Loss of system pressure traced to the pipework around the elbow

• Confirm the appliance model and, where available, the serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
• Check the existing fitting against the 1 x 1 FF Fig 261 specification and the alternative number 1170009.
• Inspect the mating sealing face and washer at the joint, as these are separate from the elbow itself.
